SUCCESS! I followed your advice, got the Modification to work, downloaded what I wanted (Though the program kept trying to Download a husband and wife NPC team I did not pick out) and have everything set up.

I've since gotten the Game Editor and I am told I can change the Portraits (I'm vane enough to want to put myself in the game, and I'm looking forward to seeing if I can replace Irenicus' portrait with a picture of Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers films my granddaughter loves). Everything has worked out for me better than planned.

I would like to thank you both, Imp and Roxanne for taking the time to assist me.

Thank You

She looks like an interesting character, but how is she so far as the other games (BG2EE, ToB, SoD & Black Pits)? Can she be imported with party?

Things are not working out. I went out and bought the entire set, got everything from steam and installed it - First to C: Program Files (86) or some such, then copy/pasted files to D: ... Please see the enclosed pictures.

This Big World Program is telling me to install things where, as you can clearly see, they are already installed. I tried it before I ever moved/copied the folders also and had the same thing happen. Can someone please explain this to me?

Oh?!? Alright then, now I understand. That is what I will do. I thank you twice! 

Todays videos games are a little beyond me but I enjoy the classics like BG. Having a program to help you to install all the add ones is a real plus.

Roxanne,

Thank you for your reply and advice.

I think I will go with what you describe as the EET option, which (If I understand you correctly) is BGEE All of them. I'm not sure if I will ever play BG1, I tried it once 30 years or so ago and didn't care for its interface, but it would be best to have it I assume.

I will look around for that  - Big World Setup (BWS?) you mentioned. From what you say, all I do is download the modifications and it will install them correctly, better to let the machine do it. Quite the help for a man who has to get his grandson to program the sat. box. HaHa. I will also, as you've instructed, find the mods I have listed as wanting here online rather than on the disk that was given to me.

This shows my age. I played the original BG, just after it came out, but didn't care for the control much (I had been playing a Dragon game with all text) I tried BG2 and liked it, but lost touch over the years. Now I find out that BGEE is something of an improvement, so I am going to venture in once again. If I can get it installed I believe it will be fine.

Thank you again for your help. Do I owe this site anything for the reply?

Sincerely

Old Druid
